Dugout Discussion – Liverpool vs Crystal Palace

The final double Gameweek side take to the pitch in Sunday’s late kick-off, with Crystal Palace making the trip to Anfield to face Liverpool.

Fantasy managers will, of course, be focused on both Wilfried Zaha and Christian Benteke in the Palace attack, with both commanding 144,000+ and 148,000 new Fantasy Premier League owners for Gameweek 34 respectively.

Benteke is skippered by 96214 (2.1%) of his owners as he bids to extend a run of three goals in his last four outings. He’ll face his former club in form, then, with Zaha and Andros Townsend tasked with providing him with the ammunition.

While Sam Allardyce’s side have every motivation to earn a third successive win at Anfield, Liverpool also have every incentive to claim a victory.

Their quest for a top spot and Champions League qualification goes on, with Fantasy managers focused on the efforts and output of Brazilian pair Philippe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino.

Coutinho has been signed by over 34,000 FPL managers ahead of Gameweek 34, with Firmino earning 58,000+ new owners following his run of returns in six consecutive Gameweeks.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    confirmed puncheon assist or could it have deflected of the pool player

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Looked like one deflection

      1. SMOOTH
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        thought it was the defender rather than puncheon

    Okay a little bittersweet that I changed the C to Negredo, but still happy I have Tekkers, may he score one more. Besides... if Negredo gets a goal or two in the next match it wont be so shabby :))

      Hennessey can't save penalties.

    Damn didn't realise Andy captained Negredo over Benteke. Has Valencia as well.

    2. Arteta

    Do we think Monreal is a good shout assuming Arsenal stick with this formation?

  18. diesel001

    Carra so biased. Should not be allowed to commentate on Liverpool.

    20 lovely points(and counting) to come in after auto subs

    1. Numb

      Typical

  23. tm245
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    Negredo plus Benteke, always nice to hedge bets.

    1. HD7
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Yeah, but still a little bittersweet if you changed the C to Negredo an hour before the start of the DGW 😉

    People give managers like Allardyce plenty of criticism but I doubt many managers could go in and pick up results like he does. Same with Pulis. Get a lot out of their sides.

    1. fiveyears
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Makes me a bit sad he was outed as England manager to be honest

    2. Sess!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      It still hurts that we lost him to England in the summer....for one game. Instead we're left with Moyes, and have been pathetic all season. Genuinely think we'd have been fine if Allardcye had of stayed.

      1. fiveyears
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Definitely, you lot were the biggest losers.

      2. Nomar
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        I think you'd have gone with him this season anyway.

        Palace far better than Sunderland and it's pretty much been Newcastle's non showing on derby days that have kept you up for the last few seasons.

    3. InSaneMan-e
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Allardyce is brilliant if you want a team to stay up

    4. andymck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Say what you will about them but they're both very good at what they do.

  25. Ravager
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 2 months ago

    I'm actually so frustrated. Haven't got a thing right this season.

  26. Ben the Mee
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Palace taking big scalps this season. Add Spurs to that list please.

    • Syd.
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      This will be the 2nd Liverpool v Crystal Palace match which will stay long in our memories

      But ones you probably want to blank if you're a Liverpool supporter

    • HVT
      • 13 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Well pleased with that on day 1, 24pts away to pool is more than I expected.

      1. Fred54
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Indeed , 9+ (18+) over the entire DGW assuming Neg and Rash blank again would have had me over the moon and he's utterly smashed that already.

    • Jafooli
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Did someone say another 90mins for El Tekkers vs tired Spurs legs?

      1. nkhoughton
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Surely cpl will be as tired with 1 day less rest

        1. Jafooli
          • 12 Years
          7 years, 2 months ago

          😮

    • Count of Monte Hristo
      • 11 Years
      7 years, 2 months ago

      Guess the Pool midfielder strikes again. Firmino instead of Coutinho this time.

      1. Konig Luther
        • 11 Years
        7 years, 2 months ago

        Same.
